Their AOE threat was phenomenal. They were the premier 5 man tank, the damage output was healable, and they required little to no cc in an age where some instances weren&#39;t getting done without it. Mechanar without a warlock? Out of the question! Shadow labs without at least a rogue and a mage... no thanks!<br /><br />Druid tanks were fighting that &quot;Warriors are the only real tanks&quot; perception as much as pallies. The example that stuck with me was the time I was headed with my fully formed group into ramparts, and some random DPS asked if the voidwalker was tanking. Ouch!

Maybe I just like playing the underdog... playing a feral druid tank and prot pally in BC... and now a warrior in wotlk when prot pallies became utterly boring for me to play.<br /><br />But from the start of playing my paladin in BC I loved tanking... my fondest memories of my pally was hitting lvl 40 and getting holy shield! Then grinding for hours on the pirates in Tanaris. Back when judging consumed your current seal and applied that effect to the target so I would rotate between seal of light and wisdom and judged when the debuff was about to fall off.<br /><br />So many whispers back then from the other players about how I was able to kill 5-6 guys without dying lol.What's my main again?http://whatsmymain.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-51975017064416388652010-06-29T07:36:48.028-04:002010-06-29T07:36:48.028-04:00I wonder how you folks did it TBC.

Never really, really got the hang of it like the veterans- but I probably would if I had the time to make a warrior alt. Perhaps I should brush the dust off the tanking shields I have some day.<br />It&#39;s too late for me these days though. I would have loved to tank TBC- Vanilla even. I&#39;d be better off for it. But I&#39;m stuck in Holy Spec now- the world&#39;s probably a better place for it, cause if I was prot there&#39;s be a heap more wipes!Anolaanahttp://spiritualfocus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-69835665709449465922010-06-28T21:51:52.781-04:002010-06-28T21:51:52.781-04:00What a trip down memory lane!

PROOF that the developers meant for us to be tanks! XD<br /><br />I remember getting invited to tank Heroic Black Morass, and seconds later getting kicked from the group because the mage &quot;would feel better with a Warrior tank.&quot; So I formed my OWN group, one-shotted everything, and when I got back to Shattrath that mage was still trying to fill his group! I /w him to let him know. :)<br /><br />And speaking of the tough old days, this was when at least two members of your party had to physically get to the CoT summoning stone by doing something like portalling to IF, flying to Menethil, taking the boat to Theramore, flying to Tanaris, and then riding to the entrance of CoT. At some point in BC, they put a teleporter in Shattrath, and of course there&#39;s one in Dalaran now.fedaykin98http://fedaykin98.myopenid.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-36449063712684930012010-06-28T16:17:45.336-04:002010-06-28T16:17:45.336-04:00I to remember these days, back when we liked block...I to remember these days, back when we liked block rating and enchanted our weapons with spellpower.
